Trapdoor glitch

This duping technique works best in single-player worlds running Minecraft Java Edition. Rather simple and straight to the point, players don't need a lot of material to get started. All they will need is:

• two tripwire hooks
• one string
• two trap doors

Players can build this dupe by placing two trapdoors with tripwire hooks on them. By placing and activating a string between these hooks, players should be able to dupe themselves some tripwire hooks.

Tripwire hook dupe machine

Minecraft players construct a machine that automates the tripwire hook duping process. The machine is essentially a more complicated version of the trapdoor glitch. It works by automatically resetting the trapdoors, thus duplicating the tripwire hooks constantly. Minecraft players looking to build this dupe machine will need the following items:

• two solid blocks
• five redstone
• one redstone torch
• two pistons
• one iron trapdoor
• one wood trapdoor
• two tripwires
• one hopper
• one armor stand
• one chest
• one string

This dupe machine works in single-player and some multiplayer worlds in Java Edition, but it will not work in multiplayer servers which are running Paper.

From trades to traps, Minecraft tripwire hooks have several uses in-game. Players looking to dupe this item have a few options on how to do so.
